During the third quarter of Ravens vs. Bills on Sunday Night Football, QB Lamar Jackson got into it with a fan in Buffalo who touched him on the field from up in the stands. Cris Collinsworth, though, at least understands why Baltimore’s quarterback took exception to it.
Mike Tirico and Collinsworth reacted to the incident after the fact on the call tonight for NBC. Neither justified Jackson’s actions in response to the fan, but they each understood that it was after a fan may have bee doing too much at Highmark Stadium.
“I’m not excusing; I know there’s no way you’re allowed to go after fans in the stands, almost no matter what happens. But sometimes that gets a little ridiculous too.” – Cris Collinsworth #NFL #SNF pic.twitter.com/pqEp1NVHe3

“Obviously, both in the wrong there, but you can’t be pushing the players when you’re a fan there as well,” said Tirico.
“I think Lamar saw the first one, and then took one himself,” Collinsworth said. “I’m not excusing. I know there’s no way you’re allowed to go after fans in the stands, almost no matter what happens. But, sometimes that gets a little ridiculous too.”
